diy pressure transducer was created by schmitty8w8w
Heres my transducer i just got done building. i didnt put the capaciters in it like others do. also i put a connector on it for the sensor pigtail so i can use it for different sensors. 100 psi for fuel and 200 for small engines and so on. i hooked it up to the meter just for the pic btw. im thinking about making a test injector for my cummins but the rocker is ontop of the injector so it wouldnt be easy

You do realise the pressures in a diesel engine are way higher than 200psi ? For a compression test you need a 1000 PSI sensor and suitable pipe work fittments. As for the fuel rail pressure on a CRD diesel up to an immense 61,000 PSI the fuel rail already has a pressure sensor anyway you can hook up to or read via the diagnostic socket.

im still not showing an intake stroke on here. i removed the muffler and its still the same. hmmm. im deciding if the problem is in the sensor transmitting data or the vehicle has a problem

If it is a cranking test not a running test it is what I would expect.
